Daily Verse 8.6 My current Kindle library. Do you prefer ebooks or old fashioned paper? Journaling ✍️ Matthew McConaughey credits The Greatest Salesman in the World for saving his life and giving him the courage to go into acting. As one who takes book reviews seriously, I added the book to my Amazon wishlist ASAP.  Home office update👨🏼‍💻 Rating: 4.0 / 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Benjamin Franklin led a remarkable life. He was, by all accounts, a genius. A great patriot on one hand but an unsympathetic family man.  David Foster Wallace is one of the most gifted writers I’ve had the pleasure of reading. One need not care for the subjects he writes about to appreciate his genius. String Theory is merely a collection of five articles DFW wrote covering his favorite sport of tennis, which he grew up playing at a high level. His words capture the raw beauty, athleticism, mental gymnastics, and emotion of the lonely game.  This is a short book, but well worth reading. Junger's analysis of what makes a tribe and what brings people together and pulls them apart is very thoughtfully done.  A well-written rumination on the basic human need for belonging and communal living. And how our fractured, alienating, and isolating modern society opposes our tribal instincts which can lead to very unfortunate circumstances.
